And in ‘most unusual alliance of fashionistas’ news, word on the curb is that Tom Ford has selected Erykah Badu as the face for his new fragrance. Huh? Don’t get us wrong, we love Badu triple time, but we somehow were excepting the patron saint of sellable sensuality to choose someone a little less…boho. After all, Ford is $500 wing tips and Badu is thrift-store, space-funk fab. So what’s the link? Does the fragrance, the name of which we don’t yet know, smell like patchouli? Ganja? Is Tom Ford really into neo-soul? Either way, we can’t to see the finished product.
